Metallica release live video of their performance of Battery from Japan in 1986 from Master Of Puppets box set - as band announce London pop-up shop

Metallica have shared a previously unreleased live video of them performing their classic track Battery.

It was filmed at Aichi Kinro Kaikan, Nagoya, Japan, on November 17, 1986, and has been lifted from the band’s upcoming Master Of Puppets box set, which arrives on November 10 via their Blackened Recordings label.

It’ll be available in various formats, with a limited edition deluxe box set containing 10 CDs, two vinyl LPs, two DVDs and a cassette, along with 108-page hardback book, lithograph, folder with handwritten lyrics and six button badges.

Speaking about the reissue, drummer Lars Ulrich said: “There are so many things associated with Master Of Puppets – it is an immense project.

“Master Of Puppets seemed to be the culmination of the journey that had started four or five years before with James and I getting together, writing some songs, Kirk Hammett and Cliff Burton joining, and that lineup settling.”
